Jenny Field , ACA, PACFA

Jenny Field is an Australian-credentialed counsellor with 17 years of professional experience supporting people through addiction, trauma, grief, and compassion fatigue. She draws on established training and professional affiliation with ACA and PACFA - the Australian Counselling Association and the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia - to guide her practice and ensure a standards-based approach to client care.

Jenny creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly. She works collaboratively with clients to explore coping strategies and to build resilience, helping them take practical steps toward a more satisfying and balanced life. Her work often focuses on recovery from process addictions, healing after abuse, and navigating loss, with attention to the emotional strain that can come from caregiving roles and compassion fatigue.

Clients work at their own pace while Jenny offers steady support and encouragement. She emphasizes empowerment and practical tools alongside reflective exploration, acknowledging that reaching out for help is a courageous first step toward change. Jenny aims to support each person in discovering strengths and possibilities for a more fulfilling future.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them, and commit to actions that align with what matters most. It is often used for anxiety, stress, depression, and addictive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and safety in relationships, exploring how early bonds influence current attachment, intimacy, and relationship struggles including abandonment and trust issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathic therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping with self-esteem, grief, and personal growth by offering acceptance and understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process - Jenny works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review options and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, keeping the client’s priorities central to the work.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins or ongoing support can be provided via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists toward meaningful change.
